Hollyoaks favourite Mercedes McQueen is left distraught next week as her newborn twins are kidnapped by Blue.

Maria-Carmella and Maria-Gabriella are used as pawns in Blue's game, as the ruthless gangster – known by viewers to be Dave Williams – continues to target Warren Fox for revenge.

Early next week, Mercedes looks forward to Warren being released from prison after a few weeks being held on remand for the murder of his mum Norma Crow.

Warren is due to be released as his son Joel Dexter has given him a false alibi. However, with not everyone so pleased as Mercedes over Warren's good fortune, this latest plan may not work out.

Meanwhile, Vicky Grant gets distracted by her love life when she's supposed to be babysitting Mercedes's twins in the park.

By this point, Vicky has enjoyed a night of passion with Ethan Williams in The Loft office, after Dilly Harcourt played matchmaker by locking them in together.

Ethan approaches Vicky in the park and asks her to come on a proper date with him. As the pair talk, they're unaware of somebody watching them.

By the time Vicky's attention shifts back to her babysitting duties, she realises that the twins have disappeared.

Vicky desperately calls her father Donny for help, while Mercedes receives a taunting message from Blue, who reveals that he has the two babies.

A frantic search begins for the missing twins, but Donny advises Mercedes that she has made a mistake by alerting the police.

Drawing on his extensive Blue research, Donny advises Mercedes to do what the villain says if she wants to see her girls again.

Deciding that Donny knows best, Mercedes assures the police that the twins' disappearance was a false alarm.

With Warren still in prison, Mercedes visits him and reveals the ransom demand she has received from Blue.

Mercedes reluctantly explains that Blue wants Warren to confess to Norma's murder by the end of the day, as this would mean him spending the rest of his life behind bars.

Warren is torn as Mercedes admits that she wants him to comply for the sake of saving the twins.

Later in the week, a drastic Plan B is formed as Mercedes, Donny, Ste Hay, Grace Black and Freddie Roscoe all team up.
